Writing this post I cast my mind back to some pretty challenging experiences I’ve had on different sites. The most worth mentioning probably was fitting out a floor of an office block for an American banking client. We’d banged up the walls for the Server Room, the services had gone in and the server modules been positioned and were well on the way to being connected up. Everything above the suspended ceiling had been installed and the ceiling closed up.

During that time the floor support had gone in for the rest of the office. All the cabling for the desks had also been laid down. The guys had just started to lay the raised access floor panels, when out of a sudden the client’s PM appeared on site and she didn’t look pleased at all! Apparently there had been a major design change which moved the Server Room to a completely different position and altered desk layout. The design change decision had been made three weeks earlier. However, the documentation, along with revised drawings  which had been posted to us, never arrived on site.

This brief example above can make quite clear the communication problems, that may arise during a construction project. These days things have become much simpler due to the continuous technological progress but there are still many changes that need to be done.
